Wicked King Noah was enraged when he heard of the prophesies of Abinidi. He asked the people, aWho is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him, or bwho is the Lord, that shall bring upon my people such great affliction? (Mosiah 11:27)
It's one thing to ask, "Who is this guy who is prophesying bad things about me and my people?" It's quite another to ask, "Who is the Lord?" I think that's a really funny question. Doesn't the word "god" mean anything to him? Does he, in his great pride, think he is mightier than God?
It seems like in today's world, many people feel the same as King Noah, although they may not express it the same way he did. They think that they are in charge of their lives, and whatever dominion they are over. They don't realize that their life can be snuffed out in an instant, and all their empire-building will be as naught.
